Years ago it took lots of electricity to generate a decent amount of light. That meant that battery-operated lanterns were often dim, ran through batteries fast, or both. Of course, those lanterns used incandescent bulbs. LED lights use far less electricity than incandescent bulbs and are much more resilient. In addition, they have an incredibly long lifespan. That makes them the perfect choice for a lantern like this. This Coleman mini lantern makes great use of that LED lighting technology to provide long lasting light with just three AA batteries. Additionally, the LEDs stay cool to the touch. Six settings are available via a dial control. A frosted globe produces a pleasing beam pattern. This lantern weighs just a little over half a pound without batteries. That makes it easy to carry and very portable. It's also durable and weather resistant. The Coleman brand has been around for over a hundred years. They're known for their camping equipment and lanterns. Add in modern LED technology and this is a 21st century lantern with a rich camping history backing it. $19.88.+ More >> |
